SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FEATURES Seal Indicator (Green) Light Vacuum Indicator (Red) Light Lid Roll Of Polyethylene Plastic Cut-Bag/Create-A-Pouch Switch High/Medium/Low Heat Selector Switch Air-Extraction Housing Patented Multiseal (One exposed wire in center to cut plastic bags, (Vacuum) Nozzle two covered wires on each side to seal bags.) Operating Your Vacuum Sealer To make a bag: 1. Place the unit on a firm, level surface near an electrical outlet. 2. Insert the roll of bagging material into the roll compartment in the sealer. We recommend you use only the plastic material supplied by Deni, for Freshlock models. 3. Put the “Heat Selector” switch on medium. 4. Plug into an AC electrical outlet. 5. Make sure the selector switch is in the “cut-bag” position. 6. Pull the bagging material over the sealing wires. NOTE: The roll is folded into a double layer to form the bottom seal of each bag. 7. Close the lid and press down firmly on the lid with both hands, to activate the sealing mechanism. Both the red (vacuum) and green (seal) indicator lights will light up. Note: a correct seal will have a straight, solid line across the seal. An incorrect seal will be dotted. 8. After the green (seal) light goes off, (in about 10-15 seconds), lift the lid and tear away the excess plastic at the beginning of the roll. 9. Next, create a custom-size bag by pulling out the amount of plastic you need from the roll and place over the sealing wires. 10. Repeat the sealing process in step 7. When the green (seal) light goes out, pull the bag away from the sealing wires. Now you have a bag sealed on three sides ready to be filled and vacuum sealed. NOTE: The bottom of the bag is where the white label strip is. Sealing a filled bag without vacuum action: 1. Make sure no food or liquid remains in the top portion of the bag where the seal will be made. This may interfere with the effectiveness of the seal. 2. Place the open end of the bag over the sealing wires, making sure that the bagging material is flat, with no creases along the line of the seal. 3. Close the lid and press down firmly on the lid with both hands, to activate the sealing mechanism. Both the red (vacuum) and green (seal) indicator lights will light up. NOTE: Remove the bag from the wire immediately after the green “Seal” light goes off. If the bag starts to cool it may stick to the wire and create a hole in the seal when pulled off the wire. Vacuum sealing: 1. Place the item to be stored inside the bag. Do not fill completely. Allow a margin of 2 to 3 inches between the item and the open end of the bag. Make sure that the sealing area is free from liquid or food particles. 2. Tilt the vacuum nozzle up. Place the open end of the bag over the sealing wires and insert the vacuum nozzle completely inside the bag. Press down on the vacuum nozzle to lock the bottom layer of the bag in place. Take the top layer of the bag and pull it towards the roll, so that the top of the bag remains open. 3. Close the lid and press down gently with your left hand on the left side of the lid to activate the air- extraction (vacuum) motor. Only the red (vacuum) light will illuminate. The air will be extracted from the bag. DO NOT press down on the middle or right side of the lid, this will block the flow of air from out of ...
